The BrikWars Forums

Alright, guize. After getting various suggestions from forum users in the chat, I finally decided to host a microtank battle in LDD.

Background:
After the successful field test of the new "Król Sobieski" Super Tank Destroyer, the Confederation of Polonia and the Order of Dobrzyń, once again, put their efforts together to create a even bigger and more devastating weapon, based on the STD's main cannon. First test result were also satisfying, but powering up said superweapon is still the biggest downside for Projekt: "Laserowy Gniew". Unfortunately, the Poles are not the only ones, that know about that issue. Third Alliance spies infiltrated a Polish research facility, obtainig vital data about that project. Now, the Third Alliance is hellbent for stealing that technology, in the hope of finally obtainig the Endsieg against the Allied Nations.

If you want to aid the Third Alliance to steal that hot laser technology or help the Confederation defending it, feel free to post your micro tank force (smaller mechs below AC size are also fine) in this thread with a downloadable attachment. I'll try to figure out some stats for them.
I'm also open for any kind of further suggestions for that battle.

Sample Force:

Current Force Line-Up:
Polonia and Allies
Confederation of Polonia
Quadrarian Royal Post (will deliver special package to the base)
Great Scythian Empire

Third Alliance
Der Reich von Bavaria
Republic of Independent Nations
Empire of Luchardsko

I'd like to participate, but with a third party: The Quadrarian Royal Post.
Premise being, they have been delivering parts to the base, and they come in halfway through the battle with another shipment, transported in an armoured convoy. They then set about trying to blast their way in, deliver the parts, then blast their way out again.
If this is not an option, then I'd simply like to join the Confederates.

Shown is the proposed convoy. Consisting of:
- 1x Growle's Moving Writing Desk
- 2x LHMT Mk.IV (Large Humanoid Mech Thing - Size 6)
- 4x REU STD Mk.II (Recipient Enforcement Unit - Size 11)
- 2x MPO Mk.II (Mobile Postal Office - Size 10)
- 3x MRDO SHDT Mk.II (Mobile Regional Distribution Office - Size 20)

All shown vehicles have existed in reality, and should be in correct microscale proportions. The MRDO SHDT is not yet documented on the forums.

Link to file, as I don't have Wiki privileges.

Alright, I'll try to integrate them as a independent party in that battle. Though I have to ask, if they have any special abilities besides their guns.

I also build the Trattorian heavy tank and the Assyrian Vanquisher in microscale. Let me know, if one of these nations would also like to participate in that battle (and maybe provide additional forces).

I'd like to join, I will prepare my force

@ Duerer: The REU STDs have claws for close-quarters, and can also launch planes from their roofs, however this may be difficult to incorporate (also the planes would be insignificant) so don't worry about it. The LHMTs have oversized OTCs. The MPOs and MRDO SHDTs carry the shipment.

Canonically, all Quadrarian vehicles have improbability drives, allowing them to take heavy damage while still remaining mostly operational, but I'm not sure how you could carry that over.

The Assyrian and Trattorian STDs look cool. Keep up the good work!

I've build some more tanks and walkers in microscale for that battle (I'll use them only with their original builder's consent, of course). I'm not quite sure, if they're all in-scale, so let me know, if you have any kind of suggestions or criticism.

New additions:
RIN Omega Doom
Luchardsko Prometheus
Bavarian Panzer Grösse (rebuilt from Kaplan's design)
Briktopian Vidicator

Also, an update to the battlefield:

I would have thought the Britannian and briktopian STD selections would have been a hell of a lot bigger than that, by at least two briks long and two briks wide.

But it is your party dude, I might submit some micro tanks later on tonight.

Nice.

Duerer, how do these suit you? A Micro Tarantula and a Micro Orpheus for you to play about with.

Decided to make a Micro Panzer IV, otherwise known as a Panzer Gustav.

Holy. Mother. Of. God.

For those, who haven't known it, I've decided to resize some tanks in the first row (especially the Vindicator and the Prometheus, with the latter one being as big as the Scythian Orpheus). The Panzer Größe has been rebuilt into a different tank, cause I was too lazy to build an even bigger one.

Also, I've decided to limit independent factions to just one or two secret factions, so any current and future participant would have to tell me, which side they want to join (either Poles/AN or TA).

Those are some very nice micro tanks. I'm assuming sine you made the Prometheus I'll be able to participate in this battle?

If you want to, sure. You may also feel free to bring own tanks.

Alright, I'll accept further participants and models til sunday, for I am still busy with studying. Afterwards, I'll have enough time to make stats and finally prepare the battle.
